Our Story
“Living in Switzerland without knowing Swiss German is like watching a movie with no subtitles — you catch pieces, but you miss the soul of it.”
KK grew up in the south of Thailand, then moved 1,250 km north for university — where even the dialect was completely different. That was her first taste of what it means to feel like a stranger.
10 months in Poland, then 4 years in Portugal for her PhD. Each country brought new barriers and the same feeling: if only there were a better way to learn.
Standard German is one thing. But Swiss German? That's a whole different world. “Chuchichäschtli,” anyone? KK realized that learning Hochdeutsch wasn't enough — to truly connect with people here, she needed Schwiizerdütsch.
There are apps for German. But where's the app for Swiss German? The one that knows the difference between Zürideutsch and Bärndütsch? KK decided to build it herself — from her tiny 60×60 cm kitchen desk.
Built for everyone who moved to Switzerland and heard “Grüezi” for the first time and thought, “Wait, that's not German.” It's not. It's Swiss German. And now you can learn it.
